>> yeah, that's right, victor. the house and senate will both be back in session here on capitol hill today with the hope that there can be some sort of conversation that begins around finding a way to end this now-government shutdown here in washington. and this comes after a day filled with tension and not much negotiating, frankly, here on capitol hill. yesterday, all of that tension came to a head on the floor of the senate late last night before the government was set to shut down. listen to how senate majority leader colonmitch mcconnell andk schumer said last night. >> what we've witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision by senate democrats to shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political games. a government shutdown was 100% avoidable. completely avoidable.
